That may be the funniest thing I've ever seen.

What the hell? International people with Anglo/American names completely infatuated with Dear Leader? I guess there's a discussion group for ANYONE on the internet. Saddest of all is the non-Koreans believing North Korea is some sort of paradise.
Since he's your father he might like it. ;)
Oh dear... If that's true, then what did I rebel against ;~D
Politically incorrect ridicule would work.
I don't know if they do that if Matt and Trey valvue their lives LOL
I think Nation of Islam would have contract on Matt and Trey LOL!
